French/Irish/Italian Field Intercomparisons of Passive Alpha Track Radon Detectors

J.P. McLaughlin, J.C.H. Miles, M. Olast, A. Rannou, L. Tommasino, G.C. Torri and P. Wasiolek

In recognition of the fact that some field conditions may adversely affect the performance of passive alpha track detectors a French, an Irish and an Italian laboratory carried out an intercomparison of their detectors in three dwellings in each of their countries. Two closed types of detectors (LR-115 and CR-39) and one open faced type (LR-115) were used. A total of 270 detectors were exposed in the dwellings for a 4 month period to radon concentrations ranging from about 10 to 700 Bq.m-3. In each house 10 detectors from each laboratory were exposed. A comparison of the results obtained is presented and also, based on the experience gained, a number of recommendations for any future such intercomparisons.
